Net Zero Strategy

Introduction Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our times. The next decade will be crucial in the worldwide attempts to stop global temperatures rising above the 1.5 o C threshold set by the United Nations to halt the potentially catastrophic change in our climate. To take action, the UK government has set a deadline to become net zero by 2050 and achieve a 68% reduction in CO 2 e from the levels of 1990 by the year 2030. Through FM Conway’s track record of forward-thinking investment in sustainable solutions and a commitment to continuous improvement, we have developed a Net Zero Strategy to address our part in this worldwide issue. The Net Zero Strategy, alongside the Sustainability Strategy, is underpinned by our research and committed leadership. Our strategies facilitate and expedite FM Conway’s sustainable approach whilst offering a credible plan to give our stakeholders confidence in our ability to deliver. In this strategy, we will outline the key areas in which we aim to tackle carbon and achieve net zero across FM Conway by 2030, as well as highlighting and monitoring the actions we must take that will transcend our business. FM Conway’s current performance has much to do with its distinctive self-delivery model. By investing in the ownership of business premises, fleet, plant, and manufacturing and recycling facilities, we are able to adapt to customer needs and respond independently to changes in the marketplace. Technology, carbon and self-delivery are the three symbiotic pillars of our 10-Year Business Strategy. It is our investment in infrastructure technology, combined with the ability to self-deliver our services, that will ultimately help to drive down our carbon consumption. To ensure that our strategy remains on-track towards achieving our carbon goals, this Net Zero Strategy is subject to annual review, as a minimum, and will continually evolve alongside a Carbon Action Plan (CAP) that will serve as an action tracker for our objectives.
